"Leveled up!"
Lin Ran checked his stats in surprise!
[Name: Lin Ran]
[Occupation: Necromancer]
[Level: 2]
[Experience: 0%]
[Strength: 2]
[Agility: 2]
[Spirit: 4]
[Constitution: 2]
[Talent: Undead Core (Level 3): Consumes the souls of the dead, increasing the power of all skills by 3 times]
[Undead Substitute: When damaged, the marked Undead warrior takes all damage instead of the host.]
[Skill: Summon Undead (Level 2, Quantity: 2/4) Whisper of the Undead: Stuns creatures within a 3-meter radius for 0.5 seconds, increasing damage taken by 10% for 10 seconds!]
Lin Ran clenched his fists, secretly surprised.
So this was a promotion! All his stats had doubled, and he was filled with strength. He felt as if he had been forged and strengthened, and all his mental energy had been fully restored.
No wonder the class-changers I've met so far always exude an inherent sense of superiority. If only I could transform directly into a native, the feeling would be so addictive!
"I almost forgot what I was doing!"
Lin Ran immediately leaned over to investigate. It seemed like Lin Ran had influenced him!
The soul, as milky white as agar jade, condensed in just a minute, then emerged from the wolf's body and entered Lin Ran's.
[Gain Disciple Soul, Energy +30 (100%)]
"30 Energy! That's a lot! More than a human soul!"
[Undead Core (Level 4) (Energy 3%): Increases all skill strength by 4x]
"That's 4x!"
In just one hour, his strength has increased exponentially. It's incredible.
Now that he has more summoning space, he immediately summons another Undead Warrior. Since the level difference is small, the mental energy consumption is only slightly higher.
[Ordinary Undead Warrior (Level 2)]
[Strength: 8]
[Agility: 8]
[Spirit: 8]
[Constitution: 8]
Lin Ran gasped. These stats were truly impressive. At just level 2, he could go head-to-head with a level 4 monster. This time, the Undead had completely shed their trash label!
Take out your personal knife and dismantle the wolf cub into edible pieces. Place them in the 10 slots granted upon class advancement. Each Undead also has one slot!
Because the wolf cub's meat wasn't much, it was only enough for one person to eat for a day! In the wasteland, meat is a valuable commodity!
Witnessing the power of the Undead Core, Lin Ran's gaze grew determined!
He had to level up quickly. If he missed this opportunity to enter Tai'an City, he didn't know how long he'd have to wait for the next one.
Lin Ran broke through the defensive fence protecting the wasteland and headed towards the Bermuda Forest.
A hundred meters away from the mass grave, at the other entrance to the Bermuda Forest, Zhou Qingfeng led 75 qualified people through the assessment.
"Don't think you can get into Yunze University just by meeting the professional requirements!"
"I'm telling you, you're completely mistaken!"
"Qualifying your professional requirements only means you have potential. Gaining the opportunity to enter Yunze University doesn't guarantee a smooth journey or peace of mind! Yunze University will hold the junior college entrance exam in a week, and I'll take you there. The minimum required level is 8. The university is committed to training you, but if you don't work hard, slack off, and stagnate, you'll still be expelled!"
Zhou Qingfeng, a veteran of job transfers, had been dreaming of escaping the wasteland and living a comfortable life. But after hearing these words, most of the people began to panic.
"Assessment requirements! Before sunset, the Assault profession must reach level 4, and the Support profession must reach level 3! Those who fail will be considered unqualified and will lose their eligibility to enter Yunze University!"
Hearing this, the people below were in a state of panic.
"Before sunset! That only leaves six hours. Doesn't that mean I, the Assault class, will have to kill dozens of prey!"
"I'm also an Assault class. How could I possibly accomplish this alone?"
"Haha, I'm a Support class. I only need level 3! A dozen or so will be enough!"
Many Support classes thought they'd gotten an advantage, their mouths wide with excitement.
Easy?
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head secretly!
In reality, the Support class's challenge is far more challenging than that of the Assault class!
Even if an Assault class goes it alone, they still have plenty of chances. However, Support classes are no more effective than ordinary people, relying entirely on buffs for themselves and their teammates.
Without the help of teammates, entering the Bermuda Forest is like walking into a tiger's mouth. Cooperation is essential for success!
This assessment is essentially training their teamwork. Since team dungeons will almost always be in groups, this requirement is already fundamental!
"The test will be held in the outer area of Bermuda Forest. Our own guards will be on guard. If there's danger, they'll intervene, but they only have one chance to do so; the second attempt will be considered a forfeit!"
"Also, I have good news for everyone. I've placed several treasure chests scattered throughout the forest. They contain some valuable treasures. First come, first served!"
At the mention of treasures, everyone's resentment instantly dissipated, and their eyes lit up as if they were energized.
"Okay, that's all the instructions. The test begins now!"
With Zhou Qingfeng's command, all 75 people rushed into Bermuda Forest!
"Baby, here I come!"
Although Bermuda Forest harbored various dangers, the monsters outside were generally around level 5. Lin Ran could easily handle them. Besides, this was also his most familiar hunting ground.
Elsewhere, Lin Ran, having just entered Bermuda Forest, turned and stared upwards, frowning!
He felt as if there were eyes watching him from behind, and the surroundings seemed different than before! But without giving it much thought, they began hunting!
"This guy seems to have spotted us!"
Just as Lin Ran left, two black-robed figures emerged from stealth.
"No, he's only level two. How much mental power can he possibly have? It's probably just a lucky gamble!"
"But this guy is quite cunning. He came here before Old Zhou even announced the assessment!"
"Isn't that normal? Every year, there are plenty of smart-alecks who simply don't understand the rules, and their fate is usually disastrous!"
The two chatted for a moment before immediately retreating into stealth.
"Lin Ran stopped beside a hollow dead tree that could only be hugged by two adults, a slight smile playing on his lips!
He then summoned two undead warriors, scythes raised, standing on either side of the dead tree's mouth.
He then gave the dead tree a powerful kick!
With a startling squeak, two yellow figures emerged at incredible speed!
Two level 2 hares!
[Rare Rabbit (Level 2)]
[Strength: 1]
[Agility: 5]
[Spirit: 1]
[Constitution: 2]
Just a level 2 rabbit, its agility rivaled that of a level 3 monster!
Having long awaited the scythe's blow, the two rabbits suffered lacerations, their health instantly reduced by half.
The two rabbits screamed, their speed increasing in tandem!
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop the rabbits, but the Undead's advancement was a different beast. Despite their seemingly awkward movements, they were able to catch up in a single stride. With a single swing of the scythe, the two rabbits, one after the other, were instantly dispatched!
Two more warrior spirits entered his body!
Kill a Level 2 Hare, gain 30 experience points, rabbit fur*2.
Kill a Level 2 Hare, gain 30 experience points, rabbit fur*2.
In the past, this nimble hare could only be caught with a trap, but now he's effortlessly captured it!
The more Lin Ran looked at his undead, the more satisfied he became!
An hour of non-stop hunting yielded a bountiful harvest: seven rabbits and three snake skins!
Lin Ran felt like he was in a no-man's land outside the Bermuda Forest!
As the undead chopped off the last snake's head,
Lin Ran's body erupted with white light, advancing once again!
[Name: Lin Ran]
[Class: Necromancer]
[Level: 3]
[Experience: 1%]
[Strength: 6]
[Agility: 6]
[Spirit: 12]
[Constitution: 6]
[Undead Core (Level 4) (70% Energy) All Skill Strength Increased 4x]
Spirit increased by 6 points, overwhelming all classes! Other stats only increased by 2 points, which is indeed a bit low, and more in line with the mage's role!
But Lin Ran was more concerned about the undead!
[Normal Undead Warrior (Level 3)]
[Strength: 16]
[Agility: 16]
[Spirit: 16]
[Constitution: 16]
All stats doubled, completely crushing level 5 monsters, and even level 6 monsters would have a head-on fight!
Lin Ran finally smiled!
It was like raising a pet; he felt even happier when they improved than when he did! Lin Ran retracted his gaze and looked down.
There was a small wooden box in the bushes where the black snake was hunted.
"Hmm? What's this?"
